BEST ANSWER:15' length is fine. It is when you go beyond 20' that is questionable and can lead to issues of the signal not going through. Usually it's the unit that provides a strong enough of a signal. I have had cases that even with an active HDMI cable at 100' may not work. I have used an active HDMI cable from a GoPro and it worked, but not as a connection from my A/V HDMI live mixer to my main projector output. Go figure.

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes this cable will work with your current setup though we recommend not running more that one active cable in series. Also it is important to note that this cable is directional so you will need to make sure the end labeled "TV" is connected to your display as connecting the cable backwards will cause the cable not to function.

Yes this will work great but you can only have one active cable per system. If you using to hookup to a receiver this will work awesome but use passive cables from components to receiver. Also these cables are directional when you hook it up.

BEST ANSWER:I don't use it on a game system, but, after having trouble myself with it "sometimes" working and sometimes not, I noticed in very light print on the ends of the cable "Source" on one, and "TV" or monitor, on the other. Plugging them into the units that way made them work. Later found out that the cable is direction specific. You might try checking for that. Plug the Source end into your game system and the other into the TV. Good luck.

We have used these cables for connecting a variety of hdmi sources to different brands and sizes if monitors without any problems. The one thing to pay attention to is the directionality of the cable. The two ends are not the same: one end can only be connected to the source and the other can only be connected to the display. If you reverse them, it won't work. Good luck!

I had the same issue happen with my Playstation 4 Pro. You have to make sure you set the settings on the TV as the following. Settings --> TV Inputs --> Select HDMI Source --> HDMI mode -->HDMI 2.0. Also, make sure that if you tv is HDR that you select YUV 4:2:0. As the issue is with the HDMI standard and cannot do 444 chroma sampling under RGB.

Might check that the "Source" end of the cable is connected to the game system. When I used these I thought they were defective but actually I overlooked that the connectors are labelled and it matters which end goes where.

One end of the cable is labeled 'source', the other 'TV.' Make sure the end labeled 'TV' is in your TV, and the end labeled 'source' is your game system. No signal will go thru if you've switched them around.

Will this work to transmit audio and video from a MacBook Pro to my Samsung TV?

BEST ANSWER:Hello, I don't own a MacBook Pro but I do use it with my windows laptop to my Sony TV and I get audio and video with no problems. It should transmit as long as you have an HDMI out port on your MacBook Pro.

how do i get 10 more feet of thin flexible cable? can these be extended, or can i add a passive to the 15 ft? or is there another product that will work better? For small conference rooms, 25 to 30 feet is the ideal length from display through table to laptop.

BEST ANSWER:Thank you for your question. We would not recommend extending the length of Active HDMI cables for the active chipset is only rated for the length of the cable. Unfortunately we would not offer these Ultra Slim HDMI cables longer than 15 feet.

BEST ANSWER:The Monoprice part Number 12611 is a 25' active cable with Redmere technology which uses a non-powered, passive equalizer for longer cable runs with no signal loss.This class of cable would be my recommendation. My system is built using nothing but these and the audio/video throughput is flawless. If 25' meets your needs, use the above part number and you will be all set.

I have already purchased three 15' foot cables to support my LG OLED65E7 TV, and a OPPO UDP-203 4K Blueray, and a Roku Ultra streaming device. These units pretty much support every video and audio format. Now I am wondering if I should have bought a "premium" rated cable to support these units, or is these cables all that I will need?

I purchased several of these in varying lengths for people to use in my local office's conference rooms. Employees connect to TV screens on the wall over HDMI. Initially, I tried to use these as a run from the tv to a female connector on the conference table. Unfortunately, that didn't work. Due to the chip in these cables, they have to plug from the source device (laptop, DVD player, etc.) directly either into the TV or a female receptacle with a normal cable on the other end. Multiples cannot be connected in series. They still work great, and their low profile makes them very convenient. Since my original plans didn't work out, I through some of these cables into laptop and projector bags. They're very portable and are not bulky at all!

The cable itself is fine. I would have given it 5 stars, but I don't think it does a good job of warning the user that this cable is UNI-DIRECTIONAL. All "active" cables are uni-directional, but if you haven't used one before, it isn't very obvious. In small font on the ends are the words "tv" and "source". Be sure to have them connected to the proper place or you will end up having to re-route them as I did.

Very nice cable as thin, light and coils up nicely. Not suited for difficult and hard to reach areas if subject to stresses. I use it to plug in my ipad so I can sit on couch and plug into Onkyo to use Spotify on home theatre. Excellent cable as just coil it up when done.
